Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Saturday morning, up bright and early.  Angus and Noah both battling to be the first awake.  Kate and I both battling to try and be the last.

After a trip to the bagel store and a change into some freshly laundered clothes we play fetch with Angus.

Angus was good, so he gets a treat.

Emmett and Lisa were at a wedding this weekend so Kate, Noah, and I crashed their house to watch their dog Angus and see what life would be like if we lived in Wantaugh.

With our poor planning and traffic we got there with time for Noah to eat and then go to bed.

Yesterday was Noah’s actual birthday, and Kate and I thought it would be good to have just a simple little picnic in the park.  We thought it would be nice to have something easy and welcoming. With help from Noah’s Nana and Opa Urban, who are really good at and enjoy throwing fun parties, we had a picnic plan underway.  A couple of trips to a few mega grocery stores later, they helped throw a really great and bountiful party for Noah – which was located deep in the park, on a mildly humid day, with a chance of rain.  Lucky for Kate, Noah, and me, Mindy was in town and could help us drag our contribution to the party up to the park.

Check out the spread!!

It felt like everyone came to the party on a bike.

Tim did.

So did Lou.

Kate and I met at a party Michelle (left) was having.  I was dragged to this party by Tara (right).  They take full credit for Noah being around.

Bradley, Hannah, and Lou.

Uncle Matt.

Noah’s new whip.

Luna.

Unfair fight…  Eric’s arms are the size of Noah.

5 Minutes after this photo was taken, the bottom fell out of the sky.

The Urban Clan (minus Lisa who was with her own clan) came over to the new apartment yesterday for Mother’s Day.  We had a little food, sangria, and champagne before heading over to Red Hook to see the art show that Nana Urban exhibits in (and helps put up).

First to show was Uncle Matt (Kate’s twin brother) who we hadn’t seen since Thanksgiving.

Uncle Emmett’s and the Smart© car he drove.

These are the three remaining pieces that Nana Urban made for the BWAC show.  “Red Fish” had sold that morning.

Opa.

A crowd formed, even though Noah was overtired and losing his mind.

Noah chilled out when we got to The Brooklyn Icehouse.

Great sweet potato fries, pulled pork sandwiches, and a view of Uncle Matt’s chili fries.

Noah had butternut squash.

p.s. I love you mom.

We drove out to see the work Emmett and Lisa have been doing on their house, and hear about their holidays on Sunday. Tex and Nana Urban also made the drive out. Noah thought it was a costume party, he came as a bear.
